You’ll see fleeting moments captured and a LOT of laughing. Rare moments when everyone is together and disconnected from their phones. Babies that are growing too fast and the little bursts of sibling love that make the difficult days worth it. You’ll see smiles that we only got because we made a fart joke and some unbelievably adorable kids fashion.

To kick off the fall families season I thought I’d share one of my favorite shoots from last year! I realized with the craziness of holiday card season last year that I never posted this crew, so… better late than never! This autumn session had such perfect fall colors & golden light, and these three […]

Love this beach family session of a close friend of mine and her family in the place they love the most- Wells, Maine. The girls spent the morning fearlessly running in and out of the freezing cold water, hunting for snails, and chasing seagulls.

We captured the first time his big sister was holding him, and the moment when I asked her to give him a little kiss and she licked him instead. And then we froze the moment when she was no longer so sure about the new baby, so she went to go blow bubbles with the dog instead.

It doesn’t get much cuter than these two and their adventures in their velvet leggings and suspenders.

Here’s a glimpse of some of my favorite  moments we spent together this year…

As I begin to reflect back on 2016 and all of the moments I’ve shared with so many families & couples, this photo sticks out as one of my favorites. She looks like the happiest baby in the world, like she knows how much her mom & dad love her. She looks thrilled to be right there, together, in that exact moment.

This crew is like family to me- their mom was my babysitter and unbiological big sister growing up, so I love being able to spend the morning with them each year to capture these memories and catch up. This session out in their backyard features sparkling holiday dresses, the cutest photobomber I’ve ever seen, and some sweet little smiles. Enjoy these highlights of Team Colonna! 

At home sessions just give a little extra meaning to the photos, and I feel that it shows. After getting some shots outside in the backyard, their mom had a great idea to capture the kids up in their rooms to give more of a lifestyle feel. I love these shots because they will be so special for the kids to look back on. A glimpse of what they were like as little kids.

It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving has come and gone already. This time of year is crazy busy finishing up sessions in time for the holidays! As I’m slowly digging myself out of a never ending list of editing, I wanted to share a session with a family that I am certainly thankful for.
